2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (Series tied 3-3)

[ballzboyee]

I am just entertaining myself people watching the Denver crowd right now. This is a waspy bunch. It's interesting to me how people who sit close to courtside at lower level during especially big playoff games never actually really look like basketball fans. Okc gonna blow this open and send 'em home wondering what just happened.

Denver is the new California (has been for 10+ years really), my brother is a complete yuppie with a cozy 6 figure job and he unsurprisingly moved out there a while back.

That's what I have been told. Looks like a Utah Crowd but with more money. Anyway, the only thing stopping OKC from being practically unbeatable is a real game manager on the court.

Westbrook is -14.

That makes -67 in his last five games.

If it was denver that had that collapse as soon as jokic went to the bench imagine the comments in here by the stans...

That really sucks for Dort to hit that buzzer beater 3.

Denver's lucky to be down only 3 with OKC shooting 57%.

Take a break from the commercials for some commercials

I don't like that they're calling those elbows normal fouls now. I think players are catching wind and they almost have free reign to elbow defenders in the face right now.

I mean sometimes your face is just where the other guys elbow is. Williams arms (and lots of the other similar plays) weren't away from his body at all and Murray had his face essentially over Williams body. The offensive player should be able to turn as long as they aren't sticking their elbows way out.

Stay together. Fight through it. Thank you Kendrick Perkins for that amazing nugget of wisdom

[ForeverTFC]

I think you saw the limitations of a j dub here to end the half. Sga out. Its your time to close the half...whole team looking inexperienced and shook with you leading.

Tough.

Yet some dude was calling him the best 2nd option in the league last week on the GB. JDub as 2nd option is OKC’s biggest vulnerability.

This series absolutely needs to go seven.

I like how Murray doesn’t have a scratch yet somehow just got knocked down by prime Tyson. Holy flop

The entire nuggets are floppers. Nothing new.

Watch on YouTube

Love Westbrook, but he needs to be yank when he's making those bone headed plays. Gets OKC running and scoring buckets

What a first half.

10/10 first half

[___Rand___]

These teams won't be able to match Minnesota.

Minnesota is becoming overrated as hell. They beat up fat Luka and 60 year old LeBron with no center and the Curry-less Warriros. I think they will lose to both OKC or Denver.

Wolves' problem is their lack of maturity. I don't think they will play at their best all series.

“Jokic has trash teammates”…meanwhile Braun leads all scorers with 15 first half points.

Ahh here we go the best part of realgm game thread. Because of course bad teammates means EVERY player has to shoot badly EVERY game for this to be accurate, right?

[canada_dry]

Jokic has trash teammates…meanwhile Braun leads all scorers with 15 first half points.

And MPJ has scored 15 points combined in 4 games this series, as a max contract player.

Atleast he has a legitimate excuse.

Nah...being tired is a more legitimate excuse than a messed up shoulder you can't lift above your head.

That's just how it goes.

That happens when the refs decide to put the MVP on the bench.

[Mamba Mentality]

Don’t let the free throw numbers distract you. 15-9 foul disparity and they killed all of OKCs momentum by getting the MVP in foul trouble. Refs understood the assignment.

Okay he has a messed up shoulder that may affect his shooting. What else has he contributed?

[bluemj32]

Don’t let the free throw numbers distract you. 15-9 foul disparity. Refs got the memo, fans want a game 7, they’re gonna get a game 7.

1000%

Best series thus far, the league has been doing this for years

Damn straight. You should be used to this reffing as a Lakers fan.
